Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

 Subject: " MY GRIEVANCE " mobile app / NEEDS FOLLOWING FEW TWEAKS TO SPREAD LIKE WILD-FIRE

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations, Shri Rajnath Singhji

 

 

 

What for ?

For launching Mobile App “  My Grievance “

 

How does it help common citizen ?

It aims at enabling the submission of the grievances by the aggrieved citizens from anywhere and anytime basis to the Departments/Ministries/Organisations who can scrutinize and take action for the speedy and favourable redress of these grievances.

Context :

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh launches AI-powered grievance management application

( JagranJosh  /  16 July 2021 )

 

Extract :

 

Ø The Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on July 15, 2021, launched an Artificial-Intelligence powered application.

Ø The app which will improve the grievance redressal in the Central Government has been developed by the Ministry of Defence with the help of IIT Kanpur.

Ø According to an official statement, the app will be the first AI-based system that has been developed to improve grievance redressal in the Government.

Ø The Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions Jitendra Singh was also present at the launch event of the AI-powered application.

 

Ø As per the statement by the Defence Ministry, given that lakhs of complaints are received on the CPGRAMS portal (Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System Portal) of the Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances Department, this new application will have great use in,

      #   understanding the nature of complaints,

      #   geographies from where they originate as well as

      #   the policy changes that can be introduced to create systematic improvements for addressing these

           grievances.

 

       How AI-Powered app will function and handle complaints ?

 

1. The AI-Powered app will automatically handle as well as analyse the complaints of the people. It will also reduce human interventionsave time and will bring more transparency to their disposal

 

 

2. The Artificial Intelligence tool will have the capability of understanding the content of the complaint

      and can identify repeats or spam automatically.

 

3. The app, based on the meaning of the complaint, categorise them even when the keywords that are

       normally used for such searches are not present in the complaint.

 

4. The Artificial Intelligence tool will enable the geographical analysis of the complaints in a category and

      will identify whether it was adequately addressed by the office concerned.

MY  TAKE :

 

 

Ø        8 YEARS ago, I had suggested a Mobile App as follows :

 

             I SIN><U SIN    ( I Seek It Now > < U Solve It Now )……[  18 Aug 2013 ]

 

 

 

Ø    Following is a simplified comparison between my suggestion and My Grievance

 

Srl No

App Feature

I SIN > < U SIN

USER INTERFACES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(A)

 

 

 

 

Selection of Govt

Not provided

Provides for selecting,

 

#  Central Govt,

#  Any State Govt,

#  Others

This is a good feature

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

 

 

 

 

Selection of a Govt Dept by name ( to whom grievance is addressed )

YES

 

# By touching from a drop-list of ( max ) 50 “ Category of Complaint “ , such as :

 

# Garbage Clearance

 

# Water Supply

 

# Electric Supply

Roads Repair

# Rationing ( Food   Distribution )

# Police

# Bus Transport

# Railways

# Post

# Employment

# Education

# Irrigation

# Building Permits

# Revenue / Land Records

# Anti Corruption

# Other

 

NO

 

“Ministry Name “ is a misnomer where it means,

 

“ State Name “

 

 

Pl correct

Just asking user to select a State Name ( to whom, he wants to send his complaint ), is not good enough !

 

 

Although AI software claims to figure out the “ Category of Complaint “ from the keywords in the text message, I think , it would be HIGHLY DESIRABLE to provide a drop-list of “ Categories “, as suggested in

 

I SIN > < U SIN

 

“ Categories of Complaints “ drop-list, quickly enables a user to:

 

#  ZERO IN on one subject

 

#  STAY FOCUSSED on that

    Subject

 

#  SHARPLY DEFINE his

    Complaint

 

#  Refrain from rambling     

 

 

 

 

 

 

(C)

 

 

 

 

How to submit

#  Touch Dept

    Name

 

#  SMS- Box

    opens

 

#  Type

    Grievance (

    option of 14

    languages )

 

# OR, user can

   read aloud

   his complaint

   (in 14

   languages )

 

 

# Click SEND

Dashboard:

 

A Dashboard for lodging and monitoring after login

 

Provision for Typing only

Considering that :

 

# Great majority of our rural / illiterate – semi literate citizen find it very difficult to type in English ( that too, on a tiny mobile screen )

 

Speech-to-Text recognition and Language Translation techs are the forte of AI – and are widely / commercially available for plug-in,

 

I strongly URGE the Govt to quickly come-up with V 2.0 of My Grievance, which enables users to submit their complaints by simply SPEAKING

 

This improvement will accelerate the adoption of My Grievance, like wild-fire

 

This is no more, a ROCKET SCIENCE, looking at :

 

#  GPT-3

#  Wu-DAO 2.0
